Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued
In November of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08 – Financial
Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The amendments in this ASC expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the “gross-up” approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
326. In accordance with this ASC, loans (excluding credit card loans) acquired without evidence of credit deterioration since their origination that are deemed to be “seasoned” (as defined in the Codification) are determined to be
“purchased seasoned loans” and are to be accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Prior to this ASU, for loans that were not determined to be purchased credit deteriorated loans, GAAP required that an allowance
for credit losses be established for purchased loans through a provision for credit losses at the acquisition date. The gross-up approach allows an entity to record the acquisition-date allowance for credit losses for purchased
seasoned loans through an offsetting addition to the amortized cost basis of the loan (rather than through the provision for credit losses). The ASU does not impact the accounting for loans that were acquired in periods prior to
adoption of the ASU. The amendments in ASU 2025-08 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2027; early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU will not affect the Company’s accounting for loans in
its portfolio on the date of adoption; however, loans acquired after the adoption date will be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this ASU.
In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 – Governments Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities.
Prior to the issuance of this ASU, GAAP did not provide authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government. The amendments in this ASU establish the
accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. The newly issued guidance requires that a government grant received by a
business entity should not be recognized until: (1) it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received; and (2) a business entity meets the recognition
guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. The ASU also prescribes requirements for the subsequent income recognition, presentation matters, and financial statement disclosures related to government
grants. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The requirements in this ASU are similar to the guidance that the Company has been applying for accounting
for government grants by analogy to guidance issued by other accounting standard setters and authoritative bodies. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will materially impact its financial condition or
results of operations.
In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 – Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this guidance clarify interim disclosure
requirements and the applicability of ASC 270 by providing a comprehensive list of interim period disclosures that are required by GAAP. The updates in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principal that requires entities to
disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 will become effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning in the first
quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the required disclosures will be added to the
Company’s interim financial statements issued after the effective date.
About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
